Finally, a simple. inexpensive, narrow profile, midi keyboard that has REAL 5 pin midi out port also has usb. But without that other junk like drum pads,knobs,dials, menus, sliders, lights,etc. That stuff takes up top space and adds cost. Also that stuff all depends on talking to a DAW. This works as a standalone midi kbd. You set the midi channel and start playing. It has velocity but no after touch. It will work with a DAW if you want it to, but there are a plethora of better units around for that use. This is ideal for playing hardware synth units live. Especially vintage synth gear. It feels like a normal organ/synth kbd that is not weighted. Its not a piano. Ignore those brainless Reviewers who disst this product because they wanted piano feel. Its not ment for that. It has the basic midi settings on top easy to see and change on a red led WITHOUT menu diving or connecting to computer. It's lite weight and usb powered. Easy to run a bunch of them from a multi usb charger. The Keys have a slightly stiff not mushy feel like an organ has. The small frame profile makes it easy to stack them up like 3 or 4 or 5. Thats where the low price makes this affordable to do. Set each unit to its own midi Chan and for me it's going to be a 4 manual organ. ---See my picts. For you hauptwerk organ people this is what you want to make a midi console without the big $$$ cost or bulk of an organ consol. CONs: it does NOT stay at the midi chan (1-16) you set after power down. It defaults back to chan1. So You have to reset the midi chan at every use. You also must press ENTER key after every new setting. Thats all a peta, but it's easy to do. Just remember to do it on sound check !!

I have owned several keyboards with built-in sound hardware but have been meaning to try a simple no-frills midi keyboard controller for some time as so much software is available for sound production through midi. I especially like pipe organ software emulators. This product was basically plug and play with Linux and Windows wasn't much more difficult. Really surprised how easy it was. The keys are synth action and a little bit clackety and one has a slightly rough surface, maybe a scratch but really nothing to complain about. Didn't explore all the midi bells and whistles, except for changing channels and transposing. There is a groove that accommodates an iPad. This can actually be used for sheet music if you put in a rigid flat surface ( I used a plastic clipboard ). Very light, small and portable. If you dabble in playing simple organ music for 1 manual 61 keys will cover you. 49 even. Works great with software synths too.

Good MIDI keyboard. Plugged it in and all the defaults were good to go...even volume! Simple and useful.

Awesome ! Works great with my new ipad-air. Velocity adjustment settings are quite simple. I am a self taught piano player & not a professional. But I can feel & sense the sound differences when I hit hard or soft. This keyboard suits to my style very much. No problemo ! Fantastic. This is quite portable, lightweight keyboard. The best thing is it has ipad dock. Just hook the ipad & start playing. No external power needed !!

The keyboard doesn't work at all. I didn't open it right away because it was a gift for my son who recently started piano lessons. Once he opened it, I wasted a ton of time installing all the software and updating it all (seriously, that took an hour at least), trying it on a PC instead of a Mac... Nothing. Finally I was talking to his instructor about how I couldn't seem to make it work, and he took a look and let me know that it is defective, not that I'm not doing it right. Unfortunately this was 2 days past the 30 day return window. Super unhappy. I'll try contacting the manufacturer for a warranty replacement but honestly at this point I want to go with a different brand entirely.

When I bought this, I was looking for a replacement for my late M-Audio MIDI board. It falls short in a few regards. This is a MIDI controller, that's really all I have to say about it. The functionality is fine, it all works like it should. The iPad slot is a pretty nice touch since I tend to use my iPad a lot for both MIDI and for my sheet music. It just isn't that much fun to play on. The action is SUPER mushy due to the fact that the keys are both attached and sprung by being molded to a single piece of plastic (there are durability concerns there but no one is playing this for long periods of time) and it's just generally unsatisfying to play, even compared to other cheapish controllers out there, especially if you have to play towards the top of the keys. When you let go of the keys quickly, you can hear them bouncing off the stop and it sounds cheap. If they updated the mechanism to use a spring like every other controller I've ever used, I think I would love this thing. If you need something for you or your kid to toy around on or just be able to put notes into some DAW software, this will work for you fine (though there are ones that won't take up your whole desk for that purpose). But if you're planning on playing on it, eh, spend a couple extra bucks on something else.

Awesome price! Great compact board. The fact that it gets power from my iPad is a plus. Very light weight. Key are a little loud for recording situations, but great for gigging even though I haven't been able to take it to a gig yet(COVID)

Great cheap midi controller. Great response and minimalistic design. The only thing I wish it had is a little bit heavier keys, and more compatibility for music stands, but for the price this is perfect.
